Judge Posner on Second Life!

While I am somewhat critical of the legal theories of Judge Posner and the Chicago School, I think that Posner is an endearing character. This was confirmed to me by his recent "celebrity" appearance on Second Life. Click on the link below:

Second Life, which is run by Linden Labs servers, involves the concept of a "metaverse" - a virtual-reality based internet. "Metaverse" was a phrase coined by Neal Stephenson in his novel Snow Crash (1992).

Will any Korean law enforcement officers make virtual appearances on Second World in the near future?
